It is, but it's aimed more at the DSLR/5D video market, bringing RAW codec video to the sub-£3k market. How well it will do is to be seen, if it's taking on the 5D it needs to be robust, as the 5D is so popular due to the rental market putting in the hands of film students so readily, if it's flimsy like Biscuit says then it won't last and won't make a significant dint. Students are not the most careful people in the world.

The Canon C100 is a closer contender for the RED market, and possibly why RED have dropped the prices like this, a Canon rep described the C100 to me as "3/4 of a RED for 1/2 the cost", and like the RED the body is only part of the cost, you can easily blow £10k on a set of lenses for either, then you've got SSD drives, batteries, brackets, screens....
